Ted Williams
|
Ted spent his whole career with the Red Sox and batted
.406 in 1941 and was player of the decade for the 50s. The plaque
highlights more of his records. |
|
Carl Yastrzemski
|
Yaz picked up where Ted Williams left off, also
spending his whole career in Boston. He had over 3,000 hits and 400
home runs; played in 3,308 games and won the Triple Crown in '67 as
part of the Impossible Dream Team. |

Recent Years
|
The end of the hall opens into this atrium featuring
inductees from recent years. |
|
Carlton Fisk
|
Pudge Fisks's 24 seasons had him catch 2,226 games and
hit 351 home runs -- more than any catcher before him. He has a
tremendous respect for the game, and Wally couldn't wait to have his
picture taken here. |

Baseball Cards
|
Dad, this is for you. One of the shops on Main St. had
this display. |
|
Lake Otsego
|
The following day, we took another route down to
Cooperstown. This one took us along Lake Otsego. |
|
Dock
|
Another view of the lake. The scenary everywhere was
beautiful. |
|
Road to Town
|
We parked on the other side of town and had a longer,
but prettier, walk in. |
|
Manor
|
This large manor or inn or country club or something
was also along the way in. |
|
Lake-front park
|
This view is from the little lake-front park in
Coopertown, a couple blocks down from Main St. |
|
Boats
|
Lake Otsego is certainly big enough for some good
(seasonal) sailing. |
|
Boat Owners Only
|
Debbie inspired this picture. |
|
Gull
|
There were plenty of seagulls (lakegulls?) around. It
was a little funny seeing a lighthouse on a lake. |
|
Doubleday Field
|
We wrapped up our day at Doubleday Field. This is
supposedly the birthplace of baseball, which makes sense since the
residents of Cooperstown would have to figure out something worthwhile
to do with a big stadium in the middle of town. |
